I at a can of Trappey's Navy Beans with Jalapenos over rice for lunch. I have been entertaining my wife all evening.
I am having trouble sitting in the same chair for long.

I use a small pressure cooker. I cook the beans & meat for 1 1/4 hr. A pan of biscuits, fresh onion & shredded cheese for topping plus a green salad on the side.
I can eat the same thing 3 meals a day before party time. Insurance the guests don't stay too late.

Just finished a bowel of navy beans with ham and cornbread for supper tonight. They were freshly made today.

I bought 2 pounds of black eyed peas yesterday for cooking up on January 1. A good portion of country ham to season the peas and a pone of corn bread baked in an iron skillet will make a great meal. Oh, and some collard greens! Yum!!

I'm getting ready to start the "Black Eyed Beans" in the crockpot.
Slow cooking them with a "Ham Hock" salt & pepper bring the best results..
Now the cornbread in the Iron Skillet sounds like something I should try.. BTW you get Iron from useing that type of skillet, It leaches out into the food you cook in it..
Could be why alot of people are sick nowdays?? Teflon in your diet couldn't be good for ya..

The store I went to last night was out of dried black eyed peas, but I put on a crock pot of lima beans with a big ham hock in it before I went to bed. The aroma woke me up this morning. About noon, I'll make some cornbread and.........

Sounds great. . . [sigh]. Wish my wife would enjoy beans as much as I do.
My yuppie- and visitor-centered store in this trendoid beach town doesn't stock dried anything, so I go with either frozen or canned. There were no frozen black-eyed peas when I got there yesterday, so I had to settle for the canned kind, which are always too salty.
No matter; a serious cook adapts to what's available. I'll wash off the salt and canned bean sludge, throw them together with some stewed tomatoes and pepper, and cut up a Polish sausage to get the protein in. (My trendoid store doesn't do ham hocks, either, but I follow the philosophy of my mother the Texan: the peas are the main factor in a successful lucky meal, and the other things are just supporting players.) Let's face it: how lucky were the black eyed peas for the pig whose hock ends up in the pot?
Most of California friends think I am nuts, but come January 1 each year, this household becomes Little Austin (not modern Austin, old Austin). Don't understand it? I don't care. Deal with it. Black-eyed peas on New Year's Day = luck in the coming months.

Don't forget your greens, too. Grandma said greens are for prosperity in the new year. Of course, there are likely no greens to be found in the OC, either.
My wife cooked the blackeyed peas and I fried up a mess of corn bread.
I love me some bean soup / split pea soup with a big ole chunk of ham in it...
Nothing quite like it on a cold day....
BTW goto yer local vitamin shop/walmart etc and get some papaya extract and chew a couple before ya eat them beans and it is amazing what the beans don't do...

Cussedemgun-a little off topic! but I see you are from Thorne Bay, I lived there 11 years ago, and at Naukati for 5 years before that!
And I like beans and ham hocks to keep with the subject. Lots of garlic and onions, fresh bread!

nedlate,
Not like it was when LP was still running, it's pretty laid-back now. I can see most of Shoreline Drive from my front window. If three cars are moving at any one time, it's RUSH-HOUR!
Seriously, there is more boat & float plane traffic now than cars. You ought to see the new paved highway from Klawock to Coffman & Thorne Bay. Next they are supposed to continue north past Naukati eventually to Port P.
